They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.” So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances… It was always a lie.

The way that some people just jumped on the Minnesota shooter being a committed leftist, and gleefully used it to attack people opposed to MAGA, only to go completely silent when it turns out he was a Trump supporter, tells you all you need to know about how we have ended up with this catastrophe

Donald Trump's immigration policy (essentially to have masked men disappear 4-6% of the population) is morally reprehensible and deeply unpopular, a second poll this week finds. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/inter...

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

“How did Nazi Germany happen?” Here’s your answer, in real time: It started with a strongman making himself immune to oversight. Sound familiar? Transferring power from the courts to cronies.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were outside Germany, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

It's important to understand: this is fascism. What Stephen Miller is saying here, is straight-up fascism. Conflating the mere existence of other races near you, to an army invading and taking over your community, is literally the rhetoric Hitler used to justify his actions.

Fuck Chuck Schumer and the Democrats who cant comprehend what's happening, cannot formulate a strategy to counter what is happening, and even if they did have a plan they have no idea how to communicate to their base said plan.

Arresting someone without charge, explanation, or due process to silence dissent is unconstitutional. This type of thing happens in dictatorships, not America. You don’t have to agree with Mahmoud Khalil to defend his rights—if his freedoms can be taken by the Trump administration, so can yours.

I have been critical of Sanders because he can be blind to his own (and his movement’s) misogyny. That being said, I think it’s clear Jeffries & establishment Dems are not up to this moment. Sanders & AOC are decisively stepping into the breach and lighting a path forward. We should follow.

It is unfortunate but all of these folks assumed that someone else would be impacted. They never expected it to be them. They all lead simple a life, believe what they do is providing value and could not fathom that they would be turned upside based upon how the voted.

Can someone please explain to me how it is possible that the very same red-white-and-holy-shit-they’re-stupids flying “don’t tread on me” flags are also like “hell yeah he’s our motherfucking king! Cry harder Libs!” Explain this to me like I’m 5 and not smarter than all of them combined. Please.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

If you know something is illegal and you do nothing to stop it does that make you an accessory to the crime? If you know a crime is being committed and do nothing on your power to stop it does that make you guilty too ?

Democrats should be flooding the air waves informing the people of the constitutional havoc that is being wrecked upon this country. As most people are disconnected with what’s happening talking to them through TV and podcasts can only help but as usual that seems too obvious

So we have gone from DEI, enabling woman and minorities to have a level playing field to no woman or minorities allowed. Sounds more like the Taliban than any American precept I was taught but that where we are now.

i find it laughable the amount of people who honestly believe that large scale fraud can be identified simply by hacking into a system. Companies and governments take months or years to assess transactions to determine if fraud exists.
